What happens to your own cells when you use this?

[Guest guest]

I posted this once, but on reading it there was a chance for

misunderstanding a footnote vs milliampere range, which I cleared up

below. So, here's a clarification on it.

....here's a quote from the Einstein College of Medicine Lab Study:

With respect to the biocompatibility of the electric currents and

total charges reported here, two separate sets of evidence are

applicable. The first has to do with the results showing that, by

trypan blue exclusion, no significant cytotoxicity was induced in by

any total charge tested. The other evidence is obtained from reports

which clearly indicates that the amount of electricity used for

these experiments is significantly below presently used therapeutic

electric currents which are in the milliampere range (footnote: 12-

16). (bG's note, they don't mean 12-15 milliamperes!!!)

Rather than negative effects, exposure of cells to electric current

may actually have positive consequences for resistance to infection

in that important cellular electrochemical changes correlate with

enhancement of specific enzymatic activities. In particular, a

facilitation of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and ATPase activity

has been observed (foot note: 12,15). Both of these enzymes are

associated with

the oxidative capacity of the cell. Specifically, it has been

suggested that an electrochemical reaction occurs between

mitochondrial membrane-bound H+ ATPase and ADP leading to the

formation of ATP. Therefore, exposure of cells to direct electric

current may directly or indirectly increase energy resources within

a cell and facilitate cell metabolism. This, in turn, may actually

render a cell less susceptible to the effects of viral infection.
